BBR "provides information and community on the subject of high-speed connections to home and office, voice over IP and other emerging communication technologies." Sounds boring, but if you want to know what's going on in broadband technology, this is a good place to find out. They review various broadband providers and, very importantly, have a "tools" section to let you test the speed of your connection: are you getting the speed you're paying for? And how does your speed compare with what other customers in your area are getting?
